Summary of ancestry
How does one summarise an ancestry?
-
Everyone descends from a long list of people, rich and poor, famous and unknown.
Hard to summarise. A list of surnames and places.
-
One type of summary is to find descents from Western nobility and royalty. Why?
Because a link to a core "Western family tree" provides a way of tying the West together.
-
My long hunt for a link to the "Western family tree" eventually found a
proof
in 2020.
-
The proof is that one of my lines descends
from Robert Blennerhassett of Annaghgarry, Co.Kerry (died 1765).
-
Given that, we have a Royal Descent,
like so many other people in the West.
-
To be precise, I am a
descendant
of
Edward III (died 1377)
and
David I, King of Scotland (died 1153)
and
Aoife MacMurrough (died maybe 1188)
and
Brian Boru (died 1014)
and
Charlemagne (died 814).
